I too was once stubborn about third lines but since I have gone back completely to two line systems about ten years ago, its interesting virtually everyone at our local field has recognized the many advantage and also gone back. Its also interesting that since I have been posting about the method I have even received hate mail about it (good grief).
For those willing to give it a try in most cases will not go back to fueling valves or third lines.
For some years I had a pile of valves and finally someone suggested giving them away but thought what an awful thing to do to your buddys and at that point they were all discarded to the landfill.
I just gotta throw this out there and am sure it will stir anger with a lot of folks but forums are all about opinions and my opinion is the biggest waste of money as well as added headache that is perpertrated on all newbies the waste spent on fueling valves and toolbox power panels for glow flyers.

So what are you railing against? Valves or third lines????
I agree the valves are more trouble than they are worth. And I agree that a third line is, most times, unnecessarily complex. But don't tell me the third line system isn't viable or "never needed". I know better.
I'm not being stubborn. If you would read my post more closely, I stated that in SOME circumstances, a third line had been the better choice. I also stated that valves are a PITA.
